FAQ:
Q: Can I use flavored tea bags (e.g., mint or fruity teas)?
A: Yes, as long as they don’t contain added sugars or dairy-based flavorings. Herbal teas like mint or chamomile are great for skincare and foot soaks.
Q: How long can I keep used tea bags before they go bad?
A: Store them in the fridge in an airtight container and use within 3–5 days to prevent mold or bacteria.
Q: Is this safe for all skin types?
A: Generally, yes—especially green or chamomile tea. Always patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
Q: Can I reuse the same tea bags more than once for these purposes?
A: After their second use (tea + reuse), it’s best to compost them. They lose potency and may harbor bacteria if stored too long.
